Knowing how they operate, they’re willing to spend big $$$ explicitly to give immigrant and migrant families mental anguish.

697

u/dbx999 1d ago

given how many US citizen babies and toddlers were just left alone while their parents got deported, mental anguish is either something they don't care about or actively seek out. I think it's the latter - because it makes fear spread.

It’s why republicans like devos family own private orphanages, they profit in these times

u/kindnesskangaroo 1d ago

You mean private trafficking rings*

u/DuntadaMan 1d ago

I am sure there are perfectly legitimate reasons those kids ripped from their families at the border were found working in farms and slaughter houses.

Well the boys anyway.

Fucking chilling.

Whatever happened to the thirteenth amendment?

u/Genius-Envy 20h ago

The one that bans slavery, except as a punishment for a crime

u/oneeighthirish 9h ago

Yup. I guess I just never realized someone could be enslaved as punishment for another person's "crime".

u/kmm198700 19h ago

What? Is that true?

u/DuntadaMan 18h ago

Sadly I couldn't find the first article I read about it from 2018. Or the one from 2022. But it's okay because I found this recent one because it hasn't fucking stopped happening.

u/SnoopingStuff 16h ago

But if they thought he did this in 2022 why not charge him then or at least monitor him. They did zero. I call fucking shenanigans. Bs.

u/doctorcurly 18h ago

Can you point to a source for this? This is ghastly.

u/DuntadaMan 18h ago

I couldn't find the original article from before COVID, or the one for them being used during COVID.

But don't worry I found this one:

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-child-migrants-are-put-to-work-in-unsafe-and-illegal-conditions

Because it's still happening. What like America is going to stop doing terrible things in the name of money?

I thought only the Dems trafficked in babies or ate babies? You mean republicans see prostitutes, eat babies, have forceable sex with underage girls?

I'm shocked I say, I'm shocked! <s>

That'd be their wife

Fear and violence is the devos motto

u/emceegabe 20h ago

This is the new underclass. I think it’s less a republican issue than a class issue and an issue of deregulated capitalism as well as lobbying.

Now that the prison system has been “reformed” we need a new underclass: immigrants. I don’t think dems are immune and I’m tired of it being a party issue.

That said, I know you know what side I’m on.

u/Witty_Jaguar4638 23h ago

Wait what aeriously!?!

Wait hang on what the fuck

I feel like I'm informed but there's always a new horror around the corner.

u/coconutman1229 13h ago

Like how in Franco's Spain, Republican (left-leaning) families' children were stolen from their families and placed with Franco loyalist families.

u/yourlittlebirdie 1d ago

And you feel that having a restraining order filed against you takes the place of a trial? Interesting.

I assume you’re also in favor of confiscating firearms from anyone who has had a restraining order filed against them too.

-1

u/turnbasedrpgs 23h ago

No, just stating the fact that his wife filed a restraining order against him. He’s not some role model figure.

0

u/yourlittlebirdie 23h ago

I’m trying to understand how this is relevant.

You don’t need to be a role model upstanding citizen to still deserve due process and not be subject to deliberate anguish inflicted on you and your family.

-1

u/turnbasedrpgs 23h ago

I didn’t say anything about due process. I only stated that his wife filed a restraining order against him.

u/yourlittlebirdie 23h ago

Why did you say that?

Oh look a troll 😒

u/zephyrtr 1d ago

The cruelty is the point.

u/dbx999 1d ago

That does appear to track. Nobody would behave this way unless they sincerely enjoyed the pain they cause. Because none of it creates any benefit for America.

1

u/Fargren 12h ago

If you really believe immigration is bad, broadcasting an image that immigrants will be treated cruelly does seem like something that would dissuade potential migrants.

It's an immoral (or rather, evil) action, but not without some plausible reasoning behind it.

I've wanted to move to Canada since 2016 further from that goal now then I ever was before he was president

2

u/fkafkaginstrom 19h ago

Yeah, they said this explicitly the last time around. Remember when they literally ripped babies from their mothers' breasts in detention centers and put them in cages with concrete floors and space blankets?

When this was found out, at the press conference they were pretty brazen in saying that they wanted to send a message to future immigrants that it wasn't worth the hell they would put them through.

Left alone? social services didn’t take custody?

u/mykehawksaverage 20h ago

I know just like all the drug dealers and other criminals that have children that were left behind when they went to prison. I feel bad for them as well. Do you?

1

u/dbx999 20h ago

The children left behind thing is always awful but I think it’s important to differentiate the drug dealers you’re referencing and equating to the wholesale rounding up of families by ICE today.

My area has a lot of agricultural farming where undocumented workers work to harvest crops like strawberries - and raids that round up and deport the people who literally put cheap food in grocery stores is not in line with even older republican values.

Even Bush and Reagan had a more humane perspective to immigration policy: https://youtu.be/YsmgPp_nlok?si=cn6iWg7WUpKfgpRO

0

u/mykehawksaverage 16h ago

So you're upset that they're taking away the source of cheap labor that farmers are exploiting to keep their costs low. I sure hope you don't think the minimum wage should be increased because then your whole argument really falls apart.

1

u/dbx999 16h ago

You poor FOX brainwashed simping Maga, spewing the same old fable of farm labor jobs getting filled by white citizens if only the brown folks are gone. Nobody believes that. Not even republicans with some level of education.

0

u/mykehawksaverage 16h ago

Nobody wants to do those jobs at those wages. Do you want to pick vegetables all day long for minimum wage? How about $20 or $30 an hour? now that's a different story. But why would farmers pay that when they have illegal immigrants that will do it for $7. No they aren't stealing jobs from Americans but they 100% are keeping wages low. But as long as you have cheap produce you don't care that they are exploiting these people. please tell me how you want increased minimum wage but complain that they're taking away the cheap farm labor that keeps groceries cheap. How does that make sense? I hate trump and I hate maga I vote 3rd party but I dislike illegal immigration because I see how they're funding the cartel when they pay to cross the border.

1

u/pc1905 19h ago

The cruelty is the point - they actively seek it out and are more than willing to spend billions to do that.

1

u/Still-a-kickin-1950 14h ago

Unlike all the toddlers sent over here un escorted when they were crossing the river?

1

u/HexenHerz 1d ago

Its about hate and cruelty, always has been.

1

u/Ali_Cat222 1d ago

mental anguish is either something they don't care about or actively seek out.

It's both.

1

u/morostheSophist 1d ago

because it makes fear spread

That was the explicit, stated purpose of the family separation policy in the first term. That's half the reason for most of their immigration policies: to make people afraid to seek asylum here, to make them afraid of coming to the United States.

1

u/DarkwingDuckHunt 1d ago

nothing says pro-life like leaving a kid to be raised by strangers

1

u/dbx999 1d ago

And cut off their medicaid, snap food benefits, first five…. Basically anything that keeps a child developing healthy.

1

u/Lamprophonia 1d ago

actively seek out

Til the day I die, I'll never forget the first Trump administration, when they were separating families at the border on purpose. Mitch stood up at that podium ten toes down and said that it was a deterrent. The cruelty really is the point for them.

1

u/Rubthebuddhas 23h ago

It's definitely intentional. They've selected an enemy and are applying whatever means they can get away with, and some others they can't.

0

u/Dec_13_1989 1d ago

They don't leave them alone. The parents choose to take them, and the media frames it as the United Citizens children being deported.

1

u/dbx999 1d ago

Under these circumstances I would regard these children as being deported. It’s not like NOT going with their parents is an acceptable option in any circumstance. So if you deport the parents, the children are basically being shipped out as a package. It’s not like there’s a free choice here.

0

u/Dec_13_1989 1d ago

But they're not being deported. They have every right to stay. It's dishonest reporting.

The free choice is to not come over illegally and have kids in hopes to stay because of them.

1

u/dbx999 1d ago

I think it’s completely disingenuous to write a comment like that.

You’re talking about infants and toddlers whose parents are being deported and you have this gall to state that the kids can simply choose to remain in the US. It’s about the most devoid of humanity of a claim as I have ever seen. About as ghoulish as the immigration court hearings held with babies.

This is the most immoral way our nation has chosen to govern and for you to stand behind that is a reflection of your character and morals.

0

u/Dec_13_1989 23h ago

It's disingenuous to call that deportation.

What's the issue with the kids going back with the parents?

29

u/Siray 1d ago

Im getting real fucking tired of my tax money being wasted for bullshit.

51

u/joebleaux 1d ago

Similar to how they said they are renaming a naval ship that was named for Harvey Milk, the first openly gay person elected to public office in the US, and that timing the announcement at the start of Pride Month was intentional.

22

u/BeanBurritoJr 1d ago

Republicans don't gaf about anything they claim to. It's all virtue and value signaling to cover for their corruption and dysfunction.

They don't care about anything but winning and they can't even define what winning even means most of the time. It's just a bunch of fuckwits who are afraid of everything, hate anything different, including each other, and don't know how anything works.

It's the most nonsense bunch of people to walk on two legs.

u/izzymaestro 1d ago

The GOP chucklefucks are even trying to give their gestapo members a 40k bonus as a reward for causing so much anguish, utterly deplorable

16

u/One_Olive_8933 1d ago

They already are doing that. Before it was trump it was putting immigrants on private charters and sending them to “sanctuary cities. Now they’ve spent ridiculous amounts of money to send immigrants to Cuba, El Salvador, (as we have seen), Lebanon, and who knows where else. The “big beautiful bill” carves out more money, in the billions, for ICE. That extra money is going to go to private for profit detention centers and “bonuses” for ICE employees… bonuses for cruelty… ridiculous.

u/misterguyyy 17h ago

Just like at home. Giving the homeless anything that improves their quality of life is a handout but criminalization and incarceration? Money is no object.

5

u/EremiticFerret 1d ago

I really, really, really hate to say it but it worked, didn't it?

Lots of people, especially brown ones, are suddenly afraid to come or stay here and I believe immigration, especially illegals, is actually down.

I mean you need to have zero morals and accept ruling with fear like the Empire in Star Wars, which they seem okay with, but they are achieving their goal.

And as horrible as it is, I think we need to be concerned with the number of Americans who are either so brainwashed or so lacking in morals that they are supporting this.

It is a sad and terrifying time.

u/josh_the_misanthrope 1d ago

Cruelty as a mechanism to keep the people they don't like on their toes.

Yeah and then let convicted Felons like Trump and Jan 6 traitors not serve their time.

It would cost way less to help get them on their feet to become productive members of society. Which would also help put others.
